Magnificent actor no doubt. But not conventionally handsome. Blockbuster films only cast handsome guys in the main roles. But he seriously is an extremely talented actor.

while he's no matt bomer, i wouldn't say he's not handsome, i agree not convetional handsome, pretty even, but i think he's good looking enough. if we're looking for a bruce that's better or as good looking as cavill, i think that search starts and ends with bomer.

Bomer is pretty whereas Cavill is handsome if you know what I mean. Cavill was also a pretty boy in his younger days but now he looks extremely mature and very masculine. He's a very good looking but in a manly way, not like a pretty way. Bomer is kinda pretty, I don't see him playing a male icon.

Superman, Batman, these are kinda of like men's men. They have to appeal to men as well as women. Men even more so because that's the bigger audience for these film. So like a hearthrob like actor or pretty actor might not be suited for such roles.
